Last nights Superbowl, with its very unexpected Saints win, most entertaining commercials, and decent halftime show, had one advertisement in particular that got me thinking. I speak of the Audi green police commercial, which was an alternate reality farcical take on extreme enviro nazi/green police recycling that some fictional country, perhaps America, embarks upon in order to attain Mother Gaia’s favor. The only one who gets along in the commercial, unscathed and unharassed, is the owner of a brand new Audi super clean diesel car. Here was my thought, what enviro nazi’s are to the normal people in the Audi commercial is to what cap and trade policies are to business.
Not saying things one way or another, but I find it interesting that we recoil at the thought of Audi’s alternate reality being real while we apply this very same pseudo reality for real, to business, in the form of cap and trade…
